Posted by Hemant Mehta in Here are the first 10 minutes of her new stand-up special, Kathy Griffin: Straight To Hell.
She walks the audience through everything leading up to her infamous “Suck it, Jesus” speech — she recreates the whole thing (uncensored, thank you very much) — and the aftermath.
And by aftermath, I mean Bill Donohue bashing:
“… the Catholic League is one guy with a computer!”
Enjoy!

[...] On a lighter note This takes about 10 minutes; it is Kathy Griffin talking about her “suck it Jesus” speech (she lampoons everyone who makes a big show of thanking their god for their winning an award). Hat tip to Friendly Atheist. [...]
OMG that’s hilarious!
I feel like I should feel guilty for laughing, but can’t help it. I never knew Kathy Griffin was so funny.
LOL, I loved her mother’s response………
I never knew she existed until the Religious Reich/Catholic League started to make a big deal out what she said. She runs her mouth off about religion almost like I do.
Only difference is, I would have never thought of “Suck it, Jesus!” I saw this whole show this past weekend. Way cool! 
Personally, I don’t think she is offensive though. Like she’s not afraid of the Catholic League, I’m not afraid of the Religious Reich.
Personally, I like her!
It was encouraging to see a whole audience of applauding people in a video of one of her shows. I didn’t know that many open minded tolerant people existed or could be gather in one place.
Such is my life in the bible belt.
Go Kathy!! I love her, she’s great.
The next part is funny, too, where she shows this negative ad that the Christian drama group in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee took out against her in the newspaper.

Oh dear, I think I’m in love
I saw her accept the award that evening but have missed all of this. She is hilarious. Why is it that I get such a kick out of peoples bad langage rants? Does that have anything to do with being an athesist???? Does that make me a bad person? Am I going to hell for that??? OH I forgot I don’t believe in hell.
[...] who angered the Religious Right with her hilarious Emmy Award acceptance speech, had a request from a couple of her fans to officiate their wedding [...]
Go Kathy!
God has a sense of humor, or he wouldn’t have given us one!
I wonder if I could make “suck it Jesus!” a statement on a t-shirt?
